Three Chinese men have been arrested in Bangkok for their alleged involvement in an online gambling network with more than 200,000 members and over 2 million baht a day in turnover.

Tourist Police officers arrested Wen Chong, 41; Peng Cheng, 24; and Po Hong, 31, in connection with the Dafabet gambling site during a raid on a luxury condominium in Huai Khwang district on Tuesday.

Authorities seized five computers, 11 mobile phones, 13 SIM cards, an OTP token (a hardware device that generates one-time passwords), 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition and a tiny amount of crystal methamphetamine.

The three suspects were renting the condo unit for 100,000 baht a month and living there despite having no apparent employment, raising suspicions that led to the investigation, said Pol Lt Gen Saksira Pheuk-am, commissioner of the Tourist Police Bureau.

The online gambling network is reportedly owned by Chinese investors in a so-called grey business based in Cambodia. The first and third suspects, Wen and Po, are also wanted by the Chinese government.

The trio have been charged with operating gambling websites, possessing narcotics and possession of ammunition without permission. They were handed over to officers at the Huai Khwang station for legal action.

This operation was part of a police campaign to crack down on foreign nationals who are working illegally in Thailand, particularly those involved in gambling activities, Pol Lt Gen Saksira sa

Wow, B2 million a day is wild. Saw something similar when I worked in Sa Kaeo — a couple of guys quietly running online slots from a tiny café setup. They vanished overnight once word got out. It’s crazy how fast these networks move. If you're diving into the scene more responsibly, the guide to the Highest Paying Affiliate Program for Casinos helped me compare Yeet Casino, Crypto Slots, and Gambling Action side-by-side. Way less shady and useful.

Bangkok is considering canceling its 30-day visa-free policy for Chinese visitors, which was previously granted.

Bang-kok should allow hawker to ply their trade on the streets. It's one of the highlights. It experience tourists wanted to go and enjoy. Never mind they suffer diahoreaa. Just get ready a lot of clinics and pharmacy around. The tourists are Fucking adult and they know how to take care and what they put onto their mouth.

Nowadays just a little rise in Thai baht..the government will kpkb saying that Thai baht will actually dent that tourists dollar. What kind of Fucking nonsense....

The government should not let developer or foreigner own property because these will caused the COL to hit the roof.

The Thailand government should hire much more hands and build more school and get the kids to attend 10 years of compulsory basic education. These I think if you ask for help from some education serious charity, they will agree to help. The current king is a Fucking retard and he should just be put to sleep soon. He should thank his star that he is the Son of the King.

Thailand govt should focus on giving these kids simple language skills, arithmetic skills, history sciences only. Language skill like English , Chinese , maths .. if they have good grasp, they should actually send them on some scholarship or bursary for further skills enhancement.
